Notes

I am soooo excited. But stressed. Here is why: - I have to get my suitcase from home and I have no time because - I have two finals and a ten-page paper due between the days Monday and Wednesday - I have my tutoring session on Saturday - I just got offered another (tutoring) job that would be incredibly lucrative, but I have to fit it in somewhere - I HAVE to go shopping for the essentials for the trip - probs Sunday, cause that’s the only time I have - I’m still feeling chubby (the effects of post-forced Winter Break anorexia), even though I’ve been really good           But I haven’t been able to tell anyone how I’m doing on this healthy eating kick (which I never realized was important to me to feel like I’m accomplishing it) because I have been so busy. And Eli doesn’t understand these things and would probably freak out and stuff spaghetti down my throat. So it goes to my blog. Don’t freak out when I say this, because it’s not unhealthy even though it sounds like it; I’ve been trying to eat less than 1000 calories a day and have been fairly successful. And I actually haven’t really been hungry ever! Although I had a nasty bought of I-miss-feeling-super-stuffed-and-want-a-double-double. But I prevailed and had a small bowl of cereal instead. Here’s how it works: shoot for meals around 200 calories and snack at 100 to 150. Breakfast, english muffin and coffee. Snack, big apple. Lunch, anything under 200. Snack, popcorn. Dinner, anything around 200. Plus a small but satisfying sweet treat. The 200 calorie mark is surprisingly easy to stay around. You just have to choose the right things. I.e. had EIGHT chicken potstickers from TJ’s for 250. And I was full. Dinner last night was a large and delicious sausage (that sounds dirty) mixed with a bunch of zucchini and sprinkled with parmesan. Again, 250. I think I might try and maintain this fairly permanently. I would probably up the daily goal to 1300 or 1400 but that’s probably all I need anyway. And I would not count eating out (which I never do) because trying to be healthy at restaurants is just dumb. And not tasty.
